When it comes to decorating your space, lighting often takes a backseat. Sure, it’s important to have a bright and cheery space, but few people spend time weighing the pros and cons of sconces or table lamps. But lighting truly has the power to make or break your space. Not only is it crucial to think about where to place your lighting, but also how your fixtures play into the rest of your home’s décor.

We had a handful of design experts share the biggest lighting trends they're predicting for the upcoming year. From old-fashioned fixtures to energy-efficient bulbs—and everything in between—one thing’s for sure: 2024 is destined to shine.

01 Storied Silhouettes

Vintage-Inspired Modern Brass and Crystal Wall Sconce

Looking towards the new year, we expect lighting to trend towards the familiar and nostalgic. Pieces that are warm, cozy and intimate. We have all been spending more time in our homes and are looking for simple ways to address those dark spots or make previously underutilized spaces functional. Decorative plug-in lamps are the perfect solution, especially ones that are unique or vintage. We like small table lamps that slip onto a book shelf or plug-in sconces that can be added over a crowded desk or work surface without taking up valuable space.

02  Warm Glow

Minimalist Design Metal Dome LED Indoor Sconce

As has been the trend for a while, sources of light are continuing to move more towards LED. But now we are seeing a lot more ‘warm dim’ or ‘warm glow’ bulbs in the market. These are especially nice for two reasons: They mimic the color temperature curve of an incandescent bulb when dimmed, and help to transition the mood of space from bright and ambient to soft and romantic. The key is to select a table or floor lamp with a dimmer switch.

03 Mix and Match

What I’m seeing for lighting trends for 2024 includes a unique mix of materials, finishes, and styles. Think: combining oil-rubbed bronze together with gold as well as using both hammered and smooth metals. 2024 is all about breaking away from what we typically expect in lighting and expanding our point of view. Lighting is like jewelry in a room—make it count

04 Back to Nature

People are also taking more interest in lights crafted from natural materials with longevity rather than cheaper, mass-produced lighting made of plastic. As we transition to a new normal, we should treat ourselves to beautiful pieces that improve our home environment, lift our spirits, and make every day enjoyable. Try to build up layers of illumination by integrating table lights, wall lights, pendants, and target lighting, and add maximum flexibility with dimmers for setting the mood.

05 Sustainable Shine

Antique Bronze Finish Crystal Sconce

Lighting accounts for nearly six percent of global CO2 emissions. A global switch to energy-efficient light-emitting diode (LED) technology could save over 1,400 million tons of CO2. LEDs provided the opportunity to reinvent our product direction with a modern edge. It is no longer about style so much as it is about functional design achieving utility, application, and performance. We are driven to expand our conceptual development and our system-based approach to design which is evident in several of our recent introductions
